Comparison between PVC Sports Floor and Solid Wood Sports Floor
1. Sports floor has a wider range of applications: Sports floor is the best choice for all ball sports venues including basketball in international official competitions. Internationally recognized badminton, table tennis, volleyball, handball and other sports venues generally use PVC sports floor. Compared with solid wood sports floor, pvc sports floor has better safety, shock absorption and rebound performance. The application range of solid wood sports floor is relatively narrow. In addition, the installation of solid wood sports floor is relatively complicated and cannot meet the needs of customers for mobile venues. PVC sports floor is easy to install, and the movable sports floor can also meet the special needs of customers for mobile venues.
2. PVC sports floor has better sports performance: PVC sports floor has better sports performance than solid wood sports floor, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Comfort: Generally speaking, the comfort of sports floor is from high to low: PVC plastic sports floor - acrylic (polyurethane) sports floor - rubber floor - solid wood sports floor.
Tremor - point tremor and regional tremor: Regional tremor refers to the range of deformation of the floor due to impact. The larger the tremor range, the more likely it is to cause fractures. The tremor of solid wood sports floor is a typical regional tremor. PVC sports floor adopts a closed honeycomb structure, so its tremor range is small and belongs to point tremor, which protects the athlete's body to the maximum extent.
Vibration absorption: In order to protect users and reduce impact force, solid wood sports floor adopts the method of adding rubber pads or pads to improve elasticity, but as the rubber ages, the function of absorbing impact force also decreases.
3. PVC sports floor has better cost performance: Really professional solid wood sports floor is expensive. Due to the different grades and structures of floor materials, the prices of sports floors also vary greatly. Generally, it can be roughly divided into three grades: high, medium and low. High-end sports flooring generally uses North American maple solid wood as the surface flooring, and the price is about usd 140/square meter; mid-range sports flooring generally uses domestic maple solid wood as the surface flooring, and the price is about usd 85/square meter; low-end uses oak and other composite or laminate flooring as the surface flooring, and the price is about usd50 /square meter. Take a standard basketball court of 800 square meters as an example. If you choose a mid-range sports floor, the total cost is about usd 71425.00. Therefore, many users who want to use professional sports wooden floors finally choose ordinary wooden floors. Ordinary wooden floors are simple in structure and do not have the characteristics of sports floors (impact absorption, resonance absorption, friction coefficient, rebound force, rolling compound, etc.), which fundamentally increases the risk of injury to athletes. PVC sports floors undoubtedly provide a better choice for the majority of users and fundamentally solve the worries of athletes.
4. The daily maintenance of PVC sports floors is more convenient and cheaper: solid wood sports floors require professional maintenance and the maintenance costs are relatively high (for some floors, the annual maintenance cost may be equivalent to the purchase price of the floor), while the surface of PVC sports floors is treated with wear-resistant and anti-fouling treatment, and does not need to be waxed for life. It can be cleaned and maintained by non-professionals, and daily cleaning only requires a slightly damp mop.
